The excerpt from the cheese monkeys was interesting. It had a style that i've never read before. it was put together well but it also seemed like it was almost rushed. I felt like he needed to get his point across before time ran out. This makes sense if you look at what he was talking about and telling us. There are parts in our life that were supposed to be able to define in a moment and show everyone. It's like living in a world of people pleasers. We are inputs expected have a certain output based of what we know to be true or perceive but we still fail to see beyond ourselves.
I didn't exactly agree with the idea that there are perceptions of the world that are beyond us. We designed perspective ourselves as a people and I feel like we wouldn't be able to understand a dimension that we can't be in or perceive. We have to comprehend in order to create, even if it something that we make up.
The Heresy of Zone Defense
The heresy of zone defense was a very interesting article. It took a very different turn from what I was expecting. The language in the article was great and accurately described the feel you get as a person who is completely engulfed in a moment or sport. I agree with his idea that the use of rules makes the sport better and keeps it forever evolving.
The addition of rules makes the world that we live in more rigid and keeps us drawing inside the lines or makes us less creative. I would have to disagree with this partially. I believe that the rules that govern us and order were put in place to increase our chance for fun and to keep up from ruining the fun (or in some other cases survival). I just don't think that I would so rigidly describe the middle line between freedom and rules that we walk. I feel like keeping basketball fun is a little more broad then that.
